I was thinking about past Demon players that went on for one reason or another to other clubs and I came up with this 22, no room for the Mighty Morton, feel free to add or subtract. I'm sure there is plenty of worthy players I've missed. The only criteria being that they must have played their first senior game with MFC . You miss out Big Carl.

B: Campbell. Dunne. Beveridge.

HB: Howe. Rivers. Frawley.

C :  Tingay. Wells. Alves.

HF: Armstrong. Hogan. Lovell.

F: Watts. Jackson. Farmer.

R: Jolly. Thompson. Callery. 

Int: Martin. McClean. Scully. Dyson.

    Danny Hughes should be in. And Spalding. Martin Pike? 

    I don’t recall the Danny Hughes full back moving, and the other younger one HFF was hardly a star. 

    Which one are you referring to?

    And Barassi was a big omission. 

    Did Norm Smith move at the end of his playing career?

    I assume the Jackson is Mark, not Ricky. Didn't the whacko one play senior football somewhere else before he joined us?

    Need to have a closer look at the rules for selection of this team, too. I'm not sure Hogan should be eligible for selection until he's played a senior game at another club.

    Danny Hughes played for the Crows in their first year about a dozen games

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
